Pamela Schoenberger, 66, Wooster

WOOSTER -- Pamela Sue Schoenberger passed away on Monday, June 2, 2014, after a 19 year on and off battle with ovarian cancer.

She was born Feb. 25, 1948, in Wooster to the late Alvin J. and Novella Amos Manges, and married Phillip J. Schoenberger on March 20, 1971. He survives.

She graduated from Wooster High School and then from Bowling Green State University with a bachelor of science degree in 1970.

Pam was an avid bicyclist and photographer. She enjoyed quilting and sewing and most of all spending time with her family. Pam became a sports enthusiast while watching her granddaughters play sports. She could easily be spotted in the stands with her big camera. She very much wanted to leave a legacy of her hobbies with her children and grandchildren.

She had worked for 43 years at the OARDC in dairy science, where she also managed the credit union for 25 years. She was also past treasurer of Rails to Trails.

Surviving in addition to her husband, are daughters, Amy (Brian) Mellor of Millersburg and Sarah (Mike) Lindeman of Wooster; grandchildren, Caitlin and Courtney Lindeman and Megan and Morgan Mellor; and sisters, Deb (Jerry) Grenert and Val (Dave) Easterday, both of Wooster.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, Rod Manges.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at the OARDC on Thursday, June 5 at the Jack and Deb Miller pavilion from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m., where friends and family will be speaking at 7 p.m.

Thanks to her friends Geri, Lynn, Chris, Sue and Becky for their support through this terrible and long battle with cancer. Your support did not go unnoticed and a special thanks to LifeCare Hospice for caring so much.
